Default Great Dichro!

If you haven't had the opportunity to try the new dichro Lori Riley is selling, I suggest you give it a go! I admit, I am a dichroaholic, just can't resist that sparkle. Dichro can be a lot of work and blow out when you least expect it. This glass she has for sale is a down right dream. Goes on easily, has a good clean clear and a minimal amount of scum. If there's any scum and it was because I exposed the underside. I usually spend too much time plucking it off with other dichros even if I haven't exposed the underside to the flame. So, I had to give it all the tests to prove it's worthiness. I mixed it with CiM, lots of silver glass, effetre, reichenbach, encased, flattened and torched the heck out of it among a few other things. Then the acid test…the freezer. It held up! I'm sold. It's always nice to save time and money. Lori will be along in a bit to give you the details on how to purchase this awesome glass. Torch on!

Thank Susie for the great comments about my dichroic strips. I have 31 colors or patterns on clear COE 104 and 1 color, silver, on black. If you would like to place an order or if you have any questions, you can email me at lkriley@comcast.net or lori@rileydesignsjewelry.com. You can also message me on my facebook page, Riley Designs Dichroic Strips. I can send you a list of all of the colors and patterns, the price list and widths that they come in. I usually get orders out within 1 to 2 days from the order date.

I have to sing her praises too!! The dichroic is beautiful!! The strips are even, well fused and labeled individually. I am so happy to have found such a wonderful supplier!

Wow, if it is that good, then maybe it's time for me to try again! It's been about 10 years since I played with it last, and those strips were not fused. I don't have to explain why I gave up so easily.

I tried it at Glass Stock last year. I suck at applying dichro, but the colors were fantastic.

I actually own one of Deb Crowley's beta fish on your FB page, and I can attest to the wonderful sparkle from your dichro

I'm a little confused how to order - is there somewhere you can see the colors a bit better than on your FB page, as well as the sizes and prices? Thanks!

What makes it different than the "other stuff" .... I am dichro challenged and would love to find some that actually works (it's most likely me!)

Hi everyone, Thanks Becca for telling everyone to message me on FB. I am working on a website right now, but for now messaging me on FB or send me an email at lkriley@comcast.net is the best way to contact me. I will send you a price list and a picture of the colors. I do take all credit cards and paypal. Thank you everyone for your great comments. I am very proud of the quality of my dichroic strips.

It is definitely comparable to CBS, and is pre fused on what looks like slumped rods. Nice stuff!! Thanks Riley!!

I definitely agree with everyone!! Lori's Dichro absolutely rocks my world!
When I was taking a class this past summer at the Gathering I noticed a flat cart in the corner loaded with Arrow Springs dichro. I thought to myself "ooooooh, sparkly..." When the Vendors area opened, AS tables were still covered and no one was there but Lori was at her booth ready to rock n' roll! Her dichro just seems more vivid and she also carries much wider strips as well as the narrow ones. I also have to add she's super easy to talk to and very helpful!

Duane

**DISCLAIMER** I have no personal or professional ties to Lori other than her being my dichro supplier (which I still have some left-thats why I haven't placed an order... YET)

IMO - Best dichroic I've ever purchased! Melts like butter, keeps its sparkle, no scum, no fuss, no muss, a joy to torch with. Finally, I have some success using dichro!
Love this stuff, thanks so much, I'll be back soon for more.
Cheers
Mary

I was about to order, but what a cluster *, I can't see prices, I don't know which are crinkle or not.

Also I see she uses Uroborus clear, wasn't their issues with that clear?

Raven, unless I miss my guess she's using Uroboros clear sheets, not rod. Their sheet glass is crystal clear and gorgeous in 104. I'm not sure what went on with the 104 in rod form when it first came out. I haven't tried it again but they may have rectified that by now.
